Greenacres, FL – Sprinkler system activated for fire at residential unit; No injuries reported

Fire rescue units responded to a fire in Greenacres on Sunday. Greenacres Fire Rescue said it, along with the assistance of the Palm Beach County Fire Rescue responded to a report of a room-and-contents fire at 3400 South Jog Road.

When crews arrived, they located a fire confined to a single resident’s room. Fire rescue said the fire was quickly controlled and did not spread beyond that area. Fire rescue also credited the building’s sprinkler system, which activated as designed and assisted with the suppression of the fire.

As a precaution, fire rescue said residents in the affected wing of the building were temporarily relocated due water damage from the sprinkler activation and the shutdown of electrical power to the wing of the building.

Fire rescue said residents will remain relocated until remediation is complete and power is safely restored.

No injuries were reported in the incident and fire remains under investigation.
